Is 2003 Vento Zip r3 upgradable?

[ventogeek]

I was just wondering if the ZIp r3 is upgradable like performance wise because i have the stock 60 kilometers and was just wondering if its possible to upgrade so it goes faster.

the sky is the limit!!!

My question for you... How much do you want to spend?

[ventogeek]

Well not more then the scooter itself is worth

[XPS1210]

example... I have about $1500 worth of parts I have purchased for my scooter...

The scooter was $1899 when I bought it new... so I've almost reached the same as it cost price!

WOW! I've spent some cash on this thing! OOF~!

Lennox.. you got more in your though right?


Speed = money... or friends... who hook you up!?!?

I remember when I spent 9k on my old 90 Mustang GT, dumped 10k in to it so I could run the quarter in 12.9 that's half the fun :) Thank G-d, I'm not as bad as those kids who spend 40k to fix up a 12k Civic.

looks like you and I are going to do a lot of comparison shopping, I also own an R3, the Technigas pipe gave me a little more top speed, the malossi clutch spring kit got me there quicker, buy a set of 4 gram weights for yer stock variator. I'm having troubles with my Technomoto upgrade variator, but with some help, I should get those worked out. Good Scooting.

the stage one upgrade is a definate BUY in my book. Better top speed, gets there quicker. less speed loss on hills. Jered hooked me up with some good advice on what I was doing wrong with my variator, it's louder than stock but that is fine by me. Stage 2 upgrade is soon to follow.

Not getting a stage 1 is just dumb. You aren't a true scooterist if you don't want to go faster an beat all your friends. Even though you are spending more money its well worth it.

I would not quite say that...

Just like anything else in life- it depends on what you are looking for. Fast as heck- why go stage 1 when there is stage IV, V and beyond out there?

There is a lot to be said for a reliable, good gas mileage STOCK scooter....

I''ve already pulled a 46 mph run out of my poor little Vento Zip R3. Stage 1 kit installed. I had to draft up behind a semi truck to get there, but the end justifies the means. I started out with a $700 used scooter, and now I am part of a Scooter Trash gang of 6 members. My personal goal is 60 MPH. I think I'm on the right road.
